Dr Neb Kujundzic, Dean of Arts and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI), Canada, delivered an engaging guest lecture on the relationship between humanity, work and technology, particularly robotics, and its implications for education, to the Department of Philosophy at the University of Malta (UM) last week.
Dr Kujundzic鈥檚 visit is the latest of a long series of 'island-to-island' exchanges between UPEI and UM, which started off with an invitation extended to (now UM Pro-Rector and Professor) Godfrey Baldacchino to visit UPEI back in 1992.
Clare Byrne, a UPEI student, is currently at UM for a semester studying political science, while UM nursing student Chanel Borg spent a semester at UPEI last year. UPEI Professor of Religious Studies, Robert Dennis, will visit Malta and the UM in May 2017.
Professor Baldacchino is UNESCO co-Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability at UPEI.
